In this episode I talk with author Darren DeFrain about being an army brat, the creative writing Phd, and Mormon hit squads.

Darren is the author of the cult novel The Salt Palace, published by New Issues Press, and was a finalist for the Best Small Press Novel award from ForeWord Magazine. He also has a short story collection Inside & Out, published by Main Street Rag Publishing. He is a professor of English at Wichita State University.

This week I talk with Peter Geye about picking up head colds from kids, literary lineages, the lively literary scene in Minneapolis, and how much we liked each other’s first book. Peter is the author of two highly acclaimed novels, Safe from The Sea, and The Lighthouse Road both from Unbridled Books. For more about Peter and his books visit http://petergeye.com.
